Got a $10 oil change with hand wash from Crest. Just got the basic conventional oil that will be replaced 2 months later. They had a $800 quote waiting for me upon arrival of crap I should do. They had no clue what I had already done and what truly needs to be done. I paid the $14.xx with tax, fees and all that crap. Took my free Ozarka water and headed out the door until the next oil change deal pops up around town. Try to see if you can use this and pay extra for synthetic or bring your own.

Here was the reason I went to the meet...

Went to the TopSpeed ProOne meet over the weekend and witnessed the unveiling of the Cupcake Meet / NOS Energy Nights painting that my bro Desmond M. Blair did.. It looked even better under the lights of the shop..

I witnessed the entire process of him drawing the image on the canvas to every stroke painted in order to create this true MASTERPIECE. I also recorded the whole process which will serve as my first episode of "Get Inspired" a video project that will showcase those that have inspired me.

Desmond is a special inspiration not only for his talent, but for the obstacles that he has overcome since birth. He is a painter, 3D animator, and artist but he has NO HANDS!!!

Bear witness to a living miracle in the first episode of "Get Inspired" coming soon..

Like Tony Walls Media on facebook to keep track of when it's released and I might do a teaser, so stay tuned.

When I had Grubbs doing all my oil changes, I would take in my own synthetic and they only charged me $20. So, you end up spending about the same money as a regular oil change, but yea. I doubt they would allow the coupon to be used for just the labor as they're probably applying the "loss of revenue" to the oil and not the labor, however it never hurts to ask/try

Anyone have an extra rear hub laying around?

I want to press a new bearing onto it without ripping my rear end apart and being without a car for a day or two while I have a machine shop press it on. Id rather press the bearing onto a different hub and then just swap it out with the old hub in one sitting.

i've went through hell with the hubs and bearings, at the end of the day even though you have to shell out more cash its just so much easier to just buy it pre-assembled

Id much rather spend $45 on a new bearing and reuse a perfectly good hub instead of spending $200-300 for OEM hub/bearing replacement.
